INTRODUCTION
18Water-reducing chemical admixtures are used to produce concrete of higher strength, obtain a
19specified strength at lower water-cementitious ratios (w/c), or increase the slump of a given
20mixture without an increase in water content. Numerous studies on the properties of fresh
21concrete mixed with different chemical admixtures were carried out to investigate the fresh
22concrete properties or the concrete properties at an early age of exposure . There were also
23several international conferences held focusing on the chemical admixtures in the last couple
24of decades. Detailed studies on the long-term performance of concrete mixed with different
25chemical admixtures, however, are very scarce in the technical literature . Therefore, studies

12Cylinder specimens with and without steel reinforcements (3.94 in. [100 mm] diameter and
137.87 in. [200 mm] height) of 19 separate cases were investigated. The variables include
14cement types (ordinary portland cement, blended cement replaced by slag powder of 4080
15and 7900 cm2/g), air-entraining (vinsol) chemical admixture, water-reducing (lignosulfonate
16type) chemical admixture, high-range water-reducing and air-entraining (naphthalene,
17melamine, polycarboxyl, and amion-sulfonate types) chemical admixture, drying-shrinkage18reducing chemical admixture (glycol ether plus amino alcohol derivatives), slag content, and
19w/c. The specimens were exposed to a tidal pool for 10 years using seawater. In each case,
20four specimens without reinforcement and three specimens with reinforcement were
21investigated
22
23Materials
24Ordinary portland cement (OPC) and blended cements by replacing a portion of the cement
25with slag powder were used. Two kinds of slag powders were used with Blaine fineness of

1about 7900 cm2/g (Slag 1) and 4080 cm2/g (Slag 2). The physical properties and chemical
2analysis of the cement and slag powders are listed in Table 1. River sand and crushed granite
3coarse aggregates were used. The specific gravity, water absorption, and fineness modulus of
4sand (passing through 0.20 in. [5 mm] sieve opening size) are 2.63, 1.63 and 2.73,
5respectively.
6The characteristics of CFRP tendons/CFCC strands are summarized in Table 2..

8Specimens
9Plain and reinforced cylinder specimens of diameter 3.94 in. (100 mm) and length 7.87 in.
10(200 mm) were investigated. The test setup is shown in Fig. 1. Round steel bars of diameter
110.35 in. (9 mm) and length 5.51 in. (140 mm) were embedded at cover depths of 0.79 and
121.79 in. (20 and 45.5 mm).
13Items of investigation
14At the age of 28 days, plain concrete specimens were tested for compressive strength and
15Youngs modulus of elasticity of concrete as per JIS A1108 and JSCE G502, respectively.
16Also, after 10 years of continuous exposure, the specimens were transferred from the
17exposure site to the laboratory, cleaned, and then tested for compressive strength and Youngs
18modulus of elasticity..

21The maximum prestress force in the CFRP tendons should be limited to 65% of the specified
22tensile strength of tendons4, 5 (Numbered references option 1). It is suggested by Hognested14
23(Numbered reference option 2) that an appropriate value of the elastic modulus of a concrete
24member, subjected to bending and axial load, can be obtained from (Equations should be

11 COMPARISON OF PREDICTIONS AND EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS (If applicable)
12The comparison of the predictions using the analytical model developed in this study and the
13experimental results from the testing described above or in the literature are shown in Table
143. It shows that the predictions are

8It is desirable to test specimens at the age of 20 or more years of exposure, and efforts should
9be made to find out the possible ways to increase the chloride threshold value related to
10corrosion of steel bars in concrete. The results of such studies would directly benefit the
11construction industry.

14Based on the results of this experimental investigation under tidal environment, the following
15conclusions are drawn:
